placed them the same day in other com
panies. The canceling companies were all
foreign. The agent simply told us that he
had been instructed by his home office Ia
cancel the policies. The matter did moi

no trouble in reGilling the policies. We
have had no occasion to call on the banks
for accommodation, but understand that
money is quite scare with them of late.
